Stephen Gammell is a distinguished illustrator and studio artist based in St. Paul, Minnesota. Gammell’s distinctive style, marked by chaotic, energetic strokes and haunting imagery, has earned him much recognition, including the 1989 Caldecott Medal. His current work transcends literal representation, capturing a sense of place and memory through abstract forms and allusion to natural elements. In these highly expressive and layered works, Gammell distills raw emotion into metaphorical representations of setting that feel at once familiar and uncharted.
